Hospital Water Birth in Iceland

by Mrs. BWF on May 6, 2012

“I live in Iceland and in March 2010, my husband and I had a baby girl. She was 6 lbs. 3 oz, and 49 cm long. I gave birth in the water at the hospital here in Reykjavik, Iceland. These pictures were taken when she just came out of the water. The birth was incredible! I came to the hospital at 3:00 am and she was born at 6:26. So beautiful and her name is Adela.” ~Berglind

Hello and congratulations!! I will be giving birth in Iceland in May. We will be living in Akureyri. I’m considering water birth but have had a hard time finding information in English. Are you Icelandic? If not, how did you find the right hospital and environment for you?
